Broomfield Police are seeking information on two suspicious incidents involving strangers who tried to offer teenage girls a ride home near Legacy High School.

A 14-year-old girl told police she was was offered a ride home on Oct. 23 by a man described as a white or Hispanic male in his 40’s with graying mid-length hair and gray mustache. The man was wearing a gray cotton shirt and sunglasses. The girl refused twice before the man drove away eastbound on West 136th Ave, according to a release from Broomfield police.

The vehicle is described as a white, four-door Jeep, possibly a Cherokee or Patriot, with dark tinted windows and gray paint that looks like camouflage.

A second incident happened on Tuesday, police said. Two girls were walking near Legacy High School when a Hispanic male in his late teens or early twenties drove by and asked the girls to come over to talk with him. He followed the two girls into their neighborhood, and the vehicle stopped in the middle of the street and watched as one of the girls entered her home, according to a witness.

The man is described as being approximately 6 feet tall and skinny with black hair. He was wearing blue jeans, a gray zip-up sweatshirt, and a green and gray hat. He was driving an older model, white, rectangular shaped vehicle with a spoiler and possibly tinted lights, according to police.

Anyone with information that could lead to the identity of the driver or owner of the vehicle in either of the incidents can contact Detective Dale Hammell at 303-464-5733.

Other similar incidents have been reported in the metro area, police said.
